"Second Chances"

By: GEM

It had been six weeks since Jenny's accident. She was getting better but she was still in a wheelchair. Leo had come home to help out and she was thankful for that; this mishap seemed to her to be bringing them back together again. Jenny was determined that she wouldn't let this second chance get away.

Six weeks and we still haven't fought. Well, not really I fought with her to take her medication but in my mind that doesn't count. This is really working. I can't believe it. I'm so lucky to have this second chance.

"Jenny." Leo shouted as he came down the stairs into the hallway. He saw Jenny sitting in her wheelchair at the kitchen table as he walked in. "Hey, Goodmorning Beautiful." He whispered as he went over and kissed her softly on the lips. The kiss only lasted a minute but, for Jenny it felt like a welcomed eternity.

"Well good morning to you too." She said as their lips parted. "Off to work?" She asked.

"Yeah, but only for the staff and Cabinet meetings. I'll be back to take you to the doctor."

"You don't have to do that Leo. Mallory is off today; she can take me."

"No, I'll do it. I want to. I'll get you at one the appointment is at two right?"

"Yes but you don't ..."

Leo cut her off. "Jenny, I have nothing that needs my immediate attention today, except you." He added. He leaned forward and took her hand. "You don't have to do this alone. I'm here for you. I owe you that much so don't worry I'm gonna help you through this." He kissed her on the hand and then again, softly on the lips before getting his coat. "I love you Jenny."

"I love you too. I'll see you later."

"Okay." As he walked out the door he turned around and blew her a kiss.

The staff was seated in The Oval Office, the President was listening contently as his Chief of Staff went throught the agenda. "Last but not least the open trade bill goes to congress in forty-eight hours. Where are we?"

Bartlet had noticed a new energy in his Chief of Staff as of late, something that had been missing since Jenny had gone. Now, that she was back so was that energy.

"We're there, Leo it's gonna sail. Josh said

"Great, okay than we can let the press in on it," he said looking over at CJ. "If there is nothing else, we can get back to work. Leo said

"Thank you all." The President said from his desk

"Thank you, Sir," Leo replied. The rest echoed the responses as the left the Oval Office.

"Mr. President, Do you have a minute?" Leo asked as he turned back to his friend.

"Yeah, sure actually I wanted to talk to you. How's Jenny?"

"She's getting better everyday. She still is in a great deal of pain though."

"I would imagine. So how are things going with you two?" Bartlet asked.

"She and I are getting it back. It's give and take and neither one of us want to make the same mistakes again. Actually Sir that's what I wanted to talk to you about."

"Leo, we have been friends for forty years, we're talking about Jenny. Don't call me sir or I'll have to hit you with a baseball bat."

Leo and Jed laughed for a moment and then Leo continued. "Jed when she was in the hospital I was so afraid those first couple of days, She was in so much pain, I wasn't sure if she was gonna make it. But during that time we began to get closer, closer than I think we had ever been before. Well, I guess I should just come out and say it." Leo looked around the room for a minute and then at his best friend. "I fell in love again and I'm gonna ask her to marry me...again." Leo said happily with a grin across his face.

"Leo! That is wonderful news." Bartlet exclaimed as he extended his hand to Leo.

"I don't know what she'll say but I know in my heart, I have to try."

"Let me know if there is anything Abbey or I can help with."

"I will, thank you." Leo looked down at his watch. "It's almost 12:30 I gotta go and get her. I'll she you later." He said as he went into his office and got his coat.

"Well that was certainly good news." Leo said as he pushed his wife to the car.

"Yes, it is. No more cast and in a week no more chair. You don't know how good that makes me feel. I won't have to have you carry me or help me with anything, it's great."

"Hey, are you telling me that you didn't like all the fuss?" He asked as he picked her up out of the chair and helped her into the car.

"Oh, I don't think I mind it." She said playfully as she tightened her hold around his neck and kissed him passionately.

"I don't think I mind it either." He replied as their lips parted.

"Where are we going?" She asked.

"How about dinner?"

"Sounds fine to me. I should change first."

"Okay." He replied as they headed home

Later that night, Leo and Jenny were back at home after a wonderful dinner. Leo was going to ask her there at the dinner table but it just didn't seem right to him. He knew this would be better. When they were still together Jenny had seen a ring that she like, a one kart diamond in a setting surrounded by ruby chips, it was to say the least beautiful. Leo had bought it as a birthday present, but never gave it to her. This seemed to him to be a prefect opportunity.

"Leo." Jenny called from the bathroom. "I'm ready."

Leo looked momentarily at the ring before he placed on her pillow next to a red rose. He went over and opened the bathroom door. "Wow, you look fabulous." He whispered softly a little shocked at he appearance, he forgot how truly beautiful she was. "Thank you."

"You ready?" He asked extend his hands to her.

"I don't know about this." She said in an uncertain tone.

"The doctor said small distances and then no chair."

"I know but..."

"You can do this Jen." He said reassuringly. "Make it to the door and I'll carry you the rest of the way." She smiled at him and took his hands.

"Alright, here goes nothing." She pushed herself to a standing position. Leo walked backwards slowly; she took small steps to the doorway before she began to falter.

"Whoa, I think I'll take you the rest of the way." Leo said as he blocked her fall. He picked her up and carried her to the bed. Jenny's attention shifted from Leo to the bed as they got closer to it. Her eyes lit up and wide with surprise. She looked back at Leo.

"What's this?" She asked as he pulled back the covers, placed her on the bed, picked up the rose and the small red felt box.

"This is for you." He said as he handed her the rose and kissed her on the cheek. She started to speak, but Leo put a finger on her lips. "This is also for you. Now, I haven't done this in a longtime. He took her hand, got down on one knee and opened the box.

Jenny gasped when she saw the ring, a solitary tear running down her face. "Jennifer Kathryn McGarry, I've missed you. I know this job hasn't helped us but for the last few months that you been back in my life I been happier than ever. Will you take me back? Will you marry me?"

Jenny was almost completely in tears. She managed to whisper an answer. "It took you long enough! Yes, I will have you back.

Leo slipped the on her finger, gathered her up in a warm embrace, and kissed her passionately.

"We have to tell Mal." Jenny said as her their lips parted.

"We'll tell her in the morning. Leo said as he kissed her again.
